Ryutaro urged Asean NOT to allow SLORC into the Group
Japanese Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto urged the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on Friday not to allow Myanmar to use its
entry into the regional grouping as early as this year to hide political
oppression there, Japanese officials said.
Hashimoto, who is on the third leg of a Southeast Asian swing, filed
the plea in a 90-minute meeting with President Suharto of Indonesia, a
key member of the seven-nation forum.
